Prayer Times Today in Turkey

The importance of prayer

Prayer is the second pillar of Islam and the pillar of religion, and it is the first act of worship for which a Muslim will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection. Muslims pray five times a day and it is obligatory for every sane adult Muslim, whether male or female.

Prayer has great merit, as it raises a Muslim by degrees in Paradise, removes sins and transgressions from him, and is a reason for him to enter Paradise. It also teaches a person order in various aspects of life, and prevents him from indecency and evil, and it demonstrates servitude to God alone and a direct connection between the servant and his Lord. Prayer is also one of the reasons for the descending of mercy, blessing, and the righteousness of all deeds.
